Check the security panel’s specifications or existing sensors to identify the required wireless frequency, such as 319 MHz, 345 MHz, or 433 MHz, and the supported communication format. Choose a motion sensor that matches both details, and confirm that the panel accepts the sensor’s protocol, since some options do not support encrypted formats.

Pet immunity can help motion sensors distinguish human movement from pets, so select a sensor with a pet-immunity setting that matches the animals in the space, such as up to 40 pounds or up to 85 pounds, while also matching the system’s wireless frequency when required. Place wall-mounted sensors at about seven to nine feet, or position ceiling-mounted sensors eight to twelve feet high near the center of the protected area, and account for room size, entry paths, and potential obstructions.

When specifying ADI Pro motion sensors, review the detection pattern and room dimensions, with wall-mounted sensors covering up to 35 by 40 feet and typically mounted at seven to nine feet. Ceiling-mounted sensors suit eight- to twelve-foot ceilings and can cover rooms up to 30 by 30 feet, while larger classrooms, meeting rooms, lobbies, and storage areas may call for multiple sensors.

Use multiple ADI PRO motion sensors when a single sensor cannot cover the room’s full size, layout, or potential paths of movement, especially in larger classrooms, lobbies, meeting rooms, or storage spaces. Ceiling-mounted sensors can be spaced throughout these areas to extend coverage, while wall-mounted sensors can help protect specific zones, entrances, or corners.
